🌍 Jiji Listings Scraper

Easily extract listings from Jiji, Africa's biggest online marketplace. The Jiji Listings Scraper collects structured data about products, vehicles, property, electronics, and more from 5 countries — Nigeria (jiji.ng), Kenya (jiji.co.ke), Ghana (jiji.com.gh), Tanzania (jiji.co.tz), and Uganda (jiji.ug) — so you can run price tracking, market analysis, and lead generation at scale.

Running on the Apify platform, you also get API access, scheduling, integrations (Google Sheets, webhooks, databases), and monitoring out of the box.

✨ Features

• 🌐 5 African marketplaces in one scraper: Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, and Uganda — just pick a country.
• 🏷️ Rich listing data: title, price, location, category, attributes (make, model, condition, RAM, mileage…), images, and listing URL.
• 🔍 Flexible targeting: scrape by category, keyword search, region, and price range — or combine them.
• 📈 Demand signals (with item details enabled): view counts, favorites, and exact posting dates — perfect for market research.
• 👤 Seller insights (with item details enabled): seller name, shop URL, number of ads, feedback count, verification labels, response time — and the seller's phone number when available.
• 💸 Pay only for what you scrape: cheap shallow listings by default, full item details only when you turn them on.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Pick a country – Choose which Jiji marketplace to scrape (Nigeria by default).

3. Set the limit – Use Max items to control how many listings you get.
4. Run the scraper – Get structured JSON data in minutes. Download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or fetch it via API.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Jiji?

The Actor uses transparent pay-per-result pricing — you only pay for the data you actually get:

Event	Price
Product listing	$0.002 per listing
Item detail	$0.005 per item

Examples: 1,000 shallow listings cost $2.00; 1,000 listings with full details, demand signals, and seller info cost $5.00. Apify's free plan includes $5 of platform credit every month, which is enough to try the scraper out properly.

💡 Use Cases

• Price intelligence – Track vehicle, electronics, or property prices across African markets.
• Market research – Use view/favorite counts and posting dates to spot demand trends.
• Lead generation – Collect seller and dealer contact info in your niche.
• Resale arbitrage – Compare prices across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, and Uganda.
• Data feeds – Schedule recurring runs and pipe fresh listings into your own app or spreadsheet.

🎯 Tips for Best Results

• Listing-only mode is ~2.5x cheaper and already includes price, attributes, images, and location. Enable item details only when you need descriptions, demand signals, or seller contacts.
• A single category query can reach roughly 24,000 listings; to scrape an entire large category, split your runs by region or price range.
• Combine the category and search query inputs to search within a category for the most precise results.
• Use the Schedule feature on Apify to monitor new listings daily or hourly.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Jiji? This scraper only collects publicly available data. However, you should ensure your use of the data complies with applicable laws and the website's terms of service. Personal data (such as seller phone numbers) may be subject to data-protection regulations — make sure you have a legitimate basis for processing it.

Why don't I see results for Ethiopia (jiji.et)? Currently the scraper supports Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, and Uganda.
